got it at harbor freight, the poor man store, it's 150psi and i'm putting in a 5gal tank. i don't need that much reserve so i figure that should be big enough. i tried it out without the tank and it inflated 4 tires in about 15mins, 35's, and was still wanting more. it will come in handy if out in the woods and i or a buddy need the air.

ya harbor freight is good to get stuff cheap... the first thing i ever bought there was a welder and it's still working great after 4+yrs. but i heard good things about this compressor so i said what the hell it's only $50. took me awhile to find a place to put it, i wanted it under the hood but there's nowhere to put anything under there. so i put it by my hella.

I make sure I keep an air hose in a bucket (with a top) in the bed incase I ever need it too. It is a good thing to have if you ever need it.
